Enhanced recovery
Coreflood experiments reveal that alkali significantly reduces viscosity loss in polyacrylamide flooding systems by minimizing adsorption and improving polymer stability under shear stress. The findings position viscosity retention as a key screening criterion for successful alkali-polymer enhanced-oil-recovery applications.
This study investigates the potential for in-situ hydrogen generation from hydrocarbons using in-situ combustion, with particular emphasis on the role of kerogen content and heating mode.
This paper presents the application of degradable particulate-diverter technology to improve oil production by effectively diverting stimulation treatment fluids away from high-water-cut, high-permeability, high-temperature producing intervals or zones.

Oil and gas extraction using water has opened up new hydrocarbon resources. However they can produce four times more salty water byproduct than oil. Desalination in shale gas and polymer-flood EOR remain niche markets for lowering cost and improving production. -
The objective of the study described in this paper was to investigate the feasibility of huff ‘n’ puff enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in a gas-condensate reservoir.

The project aims to contribute an estimated ultimate recovery of more than 175 MMboe from one of the company’s signature deepwater projects in the US Gulf of Mexico.

The objective of this study was to look at factors that can affect a temperature log and steps that can be taken to improve temperature-measurement accuracy.

Numerical simulation methods of compositional models were incorporated with logarithmically spaced, locally refined, and dual-permeability reservoir models and local grid refinement (LGR) of hydraulic-fracture conditions to investigate the feasibility of CO2 injection in shale oil reservoirs.

In the first paper, a comprehensive experimental evaluation of gas injection for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in organic-rich shale and, in the second, the effect of fluid transport in organic-rich shale on recovery mechanisms under gas injection.

This paper involved laboratory experiments introducing miscible gases into core samples to investigate enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mechanisms for Permian Basin shales to provide information to design field tests for a huff ’n’ puff (HNP) recovery process.

In recent years, some effort has been made to use EOR techniques, particularly CO2 injection, to extract additional oil and gas from unconventional resources. This has the potential to change the dynamics (again) of oil production from these tight and difficult reservoirs.
